Jupiter and Earth compared, artwork
Jupiter and Earth compared. Computer artwork comparing the size of the gas giant Jupiter (left) with that of the Earth (right). Jupiters diameter is over ten times greater than Earth s, it has over 300 times the mass and is the fifth planet from the sun, being over five times further from it than the Earth. Jupiter is so large that its famous Great Red Spot (lower right, a giant hurricane-like storm that is at least 400 years old) would easily swallow the Earth. Jupiter is an oblate spheroid in shape as it spins so fast on its axis that it bulges noticeably at its equator

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the awe-inspiring comparison between Jupiter and Earth, two celestial bodies that couldn't be more different in size and composition. The computer-generated image vividly portrays the colossal gas giant, Jupiter, on the left side of the print, dwarfing our beloved planet Earth on the right. Jupiter's immense diameter stretches over ten times greater than Earth's, while its mass is an astonishing 300 times heavier. Positioned as the fifth planet from our sun, it resides over five times further away from it compared to our home planet. Such a vast distance emphasizes just how minuscule we truly are in this vast universe. The most striking feature of Jupiter depicted here is its iconic Great Red Spot—a monstrous hurricane-like storm that has been raging for at least four centuries. This tempestuous vortex alone could effortlessly engulf our entire planet within its boundaries. Notably oblate in shape due to its rapid rotation around its axis, Jupiter bulges noticeably at its equator—an intriguing characteristic captured by this artwork against a black background. This mesmerizing illustration not only highlights these astronomical wonders but also sparks curiosity about other planets and extraterrestrial life beyond our own solar system. With elements of science fiction blended with scientific accuracy, this stunning print serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about distant worlds and their mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
